Private George Deadman G/75298 Royal Fusiliers

[Richview]

I have a War Grave photograph from Northfleet Cemetery Kent which appears to be a double grave
At first I thought it may be 2 brothers but having found the medal index for George it states his mother Lucy Stacey 40 Shepherds St Northfleet has applied for his medals. Lucy had remarried in 1917.
Is there anyway I could find out more about Private George such as his date of birth, father etc
Many thanks

1911 look ups arent allowed, but it would be worth you having a look for George Deadmans with mother called Lucy.

I'll have a look on 1901

Hi
I have the census records for the other Deadman -he died at home was Navy he did have a brother George but the mothers name and adress on the medal index ruled him out as a brother to George
I found Lucy Deadman's marriage 1917 but can't find her on the census records.

Looking at the www.cwgc.org I see he died Nov 1918, and presumably as he is buried in Northfleet cemetery he died in this country.

Looking at the death indexes there are only 2 possible deaths -

Oct/Nov/Dec 1918
Paddington
ref 1a 104
George Deadman
age 28

Oct/Nov/Dec 1918
Steyning
ref 2b 678
George Deadman
age 19

This is the best I can come up with -
may be a complete red herring

1901
28 The Shore , Northfleet
John Deadman 38 chalk quarryman
Louisa 34
George Webster son 14
Thomas Deaman 12
Arthur Deadman 10
Lucy Deadman 7
Alice Deadman 5
Bill Deadman 5 mths

That would mean Lucy was his sister not his mother, and that he started life as a Webster, even if he took the name Deadman later! (think he is Deadman on next census)
As I say, may not be connected.

Many thanks.
If only his age was on the headstone!!!

Just looked through the PRs on Cityark site, but cant see the Lucy Deadman/Stacey marriage, so looks like it wasnt at the Northfleet PArish Church

[lizdb]

If that family turns out to be of use, then here is the marriage:

Jan/Feb/Mar 1888
Strood
Ref 2a 589
Louisa Webster / John Deadman

and 1891
8 Dock Place Northfleet
John Deadman 25 labourer
Louisa 22
George 4
Thomas 3
Arthur 13 mths       all surname Deadman, all bn Northfleet

Lucy Deadman married Richard G Stacey Strood Dec q 1917 probably as you say his sister rather than his mum
